Police and Rangers successfully conducted a joint operation in the Ronti Kacha area of Sindh, resulting in the surrender of notorious criminal Sanaullah, alias Tanushar, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
The gang leader, infamous for a Rs 10 million heist, handed over his weapons and submitted to the authorities without resistance.
Authorities confirmed that Sanaullah was wanted in more than 50 cases filed with both Sindh and Punjab police.
The suspect has a long history of criminal activities, spanning multiple districts across both provinces.
Sanaullah is also accused in cases related to the killing of 17 police officers and personnel in Sindh and Punjab.
Law enforcement agencies had been pursuing him for several years, making this surrender a major achievement for regional policing efforts.
Moreover, Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar termed the surrender a significant success of the government’s strategy and the sustained efforts of law enforcement agencies.
He credited the achievement to the dedicated efforts of DIG Nasir Aftab and SSP Ghotki Anwar Khetran, along with their teams, praising their professionalism and continuous operational pressure in the region.
Sanaullah alias Sanao, son of Jangal alias Bago Shar, was a notorious dacoit operating in the Kacha area of Ronti.
He was facing multiple charges across various police stations, including murder and attempted murder, kidnapping for ransom, armed robbery, offences under the Arms Act and charges under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
He reiterated that while those willing to abandon crime would be given an opportunity, individuals involved in heinous offences would be brought to justice without exception.
Lanjar emphasized that maintaining law and order remains the government’s top priority, adding that there would be no compromise on public safety and the protection of citizens’ lives and property.
